ABOUT US
​
Hippo's: very tough, protective and they don't stop when they hit the water! A pretty apt simile , we think, for our products.
Our philosophy? Easy to fit quality functional exterior protection and wading products for your Land Rover Defender without damaging or modifying it’s originality and value. Purist functionality.
Your original Defender is now becoming rarer and more valuable. Our passion is to be able to add all the highest quality functional accessories for your Defender's protection and wading needs, but without permanently damaging the vehicle. Quick, functional, safe, protected.
We are based in South Africa - a mecca for Defender off-road 4x4 activity. If our products work here they will work anywhere. Lasercutting consistency and accurate moulds ensure quick and easy fitment for tough African bush conditions.
Our products are designed to take minutes or even seconds to fit by only using the original bodywork fixing points – no drilling, no damage, and no modifications. Similarly they can just as easily be removed to leave the vehicle original.
By example: the front [and rear] corners of a Defender are vulnerable and prone to damage – whether in an urban environment eg/ a car park, or out in the African wilds. Our protectors fit onto the bumpers and protect this vulnerability.
We think our products look good too. They add to the functional purposeful 'Defender look' without ugly detractions. Here function and form meet to enhance the vehicle’s rugged looks.
​
In combination with our front corner protectors we designed the quick fit emergency wading blanket [also see our emergency snorkel] and bush cable kit. This wade blanket also combines as a seed blanket for grassy savannah type conditions. In addition, our bush cables clip on to assist green laning and bush driving. These can be fixed to your roof rack or to our independent roof gutter clamps. Again, very easy and quick to fit.
​
We have designed and patented a quick fixing plastic breathing snorkel for emergencies. This emergency snorkel, plus the supplied ventilation blank plate for the interior ventilation vent, add significant wading depth ability to the Defender in flood emergencies at a fraction of a normal snorkel cost. Again, about a minute or so to fit, and re-usable. The snorkel and wading kit is small enough to be stored inside the vehicle for such emergencies. It is designed to allow emergency engine breathing for water depths up to the bonnet level.
We hope you like the simplicity and effectiveness of our products like we do. To purchase or have any queries contact us via email.
